Ah, I see...

I found a way to set this globally: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread3754.html

In a nutshell: php.ini/short_open_tag = on
The php.ini file should be located to be found as explained in http://at.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php

Except if/when you move your site to another server you're betting on them having short tags enabled. Best to type 3 extra characters for each opening tag now, than having to change them all later. Where software development is concerned shortcuts are very very rarely worth taking.

Thanks for your help!

I installed the windows binaries (5.2.0 installer from http://www.php.net/downloads.php) on my XP box. To test the installation of PHP, I use a minimal test script "phpinfo.php":
 <? phpinfo() ?>
When I call "php phpinfo.php", all I get is a dump of the source file but not the info I should recieve. It seems as if PHP does not process the file but just prints it.

You are using short tags which are disabled by default in that version of PHP. That is why it's not interpreting the code.

Change <? to <?php and it'll work fine.
